I believe Donald Trump should and will win a second term in 2024. I also believe that whatever follows Donald Trump as the face of MAGA will be a bit spicier and equally charismatic. MAGA is here to stay.
Bkmk
Rand might be viable post-Trump. Depends.
He’s waited his turn long enough.
14 years in the Senate.
Donald Trump is just the current face of the movement, and MAGA will outlive Donald Trump by generations.
Q: What ever became of the "Tea Party?" Same thing will happen with MAGA (unfortunately).
Regards,
The movement is real, but it’s been magnified since 2015 because it was led by a man who comes onto the national political scene only once every hundred years or so. He’s larger than life, and wealthy and eccentric enough that he doesn’t care what people think of him. And he was willing to put everything on the line for his country.
Where did Ron Paul stand on open borders?
“The reality is that while Trump is the current figurehead of the movement, it was birthed under Ron Paul. Ron Paul took fringe conversations such as no foreign wars and sound economics onto the main stage.”
This is only a half truth. This perpetuates the myth started by the the establishment warhawks and the MIC. His stance was twisted into something it was not. The truth is Ron’s stance was if it was truly needed then go get it done with a show of strength and without hast and then bring the troops back to protect our own national borders. Even libertarians got this wrong by claiming he supported open borders, he did not, one quote he made was taken completely out of context and twisted into something it was not. He believes in nationalism and America first over foreign nation building at a cost of our own freedoms and financial future just so the MIC can profit.
Will MAGA continue on after Trump or not? It all depends on how much of the deepstate/uniparty apparatus he’s able to dismantle. It’s a tall order. Don’t expect some new Trump to arise from the old party system. Trump is a once in a lifetime phenomenon.
If the system stays as it is, if the only way for a true America first patriot to rise to power is for him to be a multi-billionaire with enough money to sustain his independence and whether the forces of lawfare on his own, then MAGA will fade away. Trumps don’t come around very often in history.
If Rush Limbaugh were still alive, I don't believe that traitorous House bill giving zillions to Ukraine would ever have passed. They tried something similar with an amnesty bill 10 or so years ago. He had Mark Rubio on, who was in favor of amnesty, and he asked him why the amnesty always comes first but then the wall that was promised never gets built. Rubio didn't have an answer. After Rubio was off the air, Rush told his listeners to ring their congressmen and the next day the bill was abandoned. I don't see anyone on radio ever having that power again. If we ever get another Rush, it won't be on radio.
Ditto for Trump. I don't see anyone with the courage to lead MAGA as Trump has. They will literally be putting their freedom on the line since they will be attacked with lawfare and will be universally hated and lied about by the Lamestream media.
I fear it will go the way of The Tea Party.
DeSantis is backing Trump and assisting with raising money. This has the feel of a hit piece on people Trump’s considering for VP
“Most things that the liberal mafia said would happen under Trump have since manifested under Joe Biden.”
That will get your average liberal sputtering like Biden trying to read a teleprompter.
In the 1920s it was Republican Senator Gerald Nye and other Republicans who formed the War Profiteering Committee to investigate the equivalent of the MIC and how they pushed the US into WWI and profited from it. You will see other populist Republicans after Trump being suspicious of warmongering, the MIC, the Deep State, etc. This is a consistent line of thought among the American people that was only temporarily interrupted by the need to defeat the expansionist totalitarians.
Trump was basically a moderate Republican - he promoted tax cuts, secure borders, strong defense but fewer international ties, more efficient Federal Govt, less Federal Social engineering of American social life. He cut no Federal Departments, let government grow, grew debt, etc... just like a good RINO of the last 50 years.
Very standard modern GOP stuff - nothing Washington DC should be scared of
What surprised me is, in spite of this, they were deathly afraid of him. I assume because Washington DC is now occupied by Marxists, and he wasn’t in on their grifting scheme. They fought him like a human body fighting a deadly bacteria.
So what comes after Trump? People with FAR more radical ideas
He should win since he won the last time, but RATS, and whoever else is involved in taking Trump down, will go to any lengths necessary to keep him from holding office ever again. If they can’t take him out via the courts, they’ll murder him.
Trump will win the election. The economy will crash under the weight of the national debt. Trump will be blamed by the press, and be defeated in 28.
